Development tools

When developing or troubleshooting systems application SPI, afterimage at the akin of accouterments signals can be important.

edit Host adapters

There are a amount of USB accouterments solutions to accommodate computers, active Linux, Mac, or Windows, SPI adept and/or bondservant capabilities. Many of them aswell accommodate scripting and/or programming capabilities (Visual Basic, C/C++, ...).

A SPI Host Adapter lets the user play the role of a adept on a SPI bus anon from PC. They are acclimated for anchored system, dent (FPGA/ASIC/SoC) and borderline testing, programming and debug.

The key ambit of SPI Adapters are: the best accurate abundance for the consecutive interface, command-to-command cessation and the best breadth for SPI commands. It is accessible to acquisition SPI Adapters on the bazaar today that abutment up to 100 MHz consecutive interfaces, with around absolute admission length.

SPI agreement getting a de facto standard, some 'SPI Host Adapters' aswell accept the adeptness of acknowledging added protocols above the 'traditional 4-wires' SPI (e.g: abutment of quad-SPI agreement or added custom consecutive agreement that acquire from SPI4).

edit Agreement analyzers

SPI Agreement Analyzers are accoutrement which sample a SPI bus and break the electrical signals to accommodate a higher-level appearance of the abstracts getting transmitted on a specific bus.

edit Oscilloscopes

Every above oscilloscope bell-ringer offers oscilloscope-based triggering and agreement adaptation for SPI{citation required}. Most abutment 2-, 3-, and 4-wire SPI{citation required}. The triggering and adaptation adequacy is about offered as an alternative extra{citation required}. SPI signals can be accessed via analog oscilloscope channels or with agenda MSO channels{citation required}.

edit Argumentation analyzers

When developing and/or troubleshooting the SPI bus, assay of accouterments signals can be actual important. Argumentation analyzers are accoutrement which collect, analyze, decode, abundance signals so humans can appearance the accelerated waveforms at their leisure. Argumentation analyzers affectation time-stamps of anniversary arresting akin change, which can advice acquisition agreement problems. Most argumentation analyzers accept the adequacy to break bus signals into high-level agreement abstracts and appearance ASCII data.
